The US House of Representatives has once again advanced a law bill that would always require the FBI and cops to obtain a warrant from a judge before forcing email providers to hand over people's messages.

The latest incarnation of what was the Email Privacy Act comes in the form of an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, the annual legislation that sets the budget for the Department of Defense. That bill passed the House last week in a 351-66 vote, and is now off to the Senate to approve.
